Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced
Seasoning & Coating
- 2 teaspoons minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 4 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- Fresh thyme, for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and slice the sweet potatoes into thin, even slices to ensure even cooking. Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC) while you prepare the other ingredients.
- Coat the Potatoes: Place the sweet potato slices into a resealable plastic bag. Add minced garlic, olive oil, melted butter, garlic salt, cracked pepper, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning into the bag. Seal the bag and shake thoroughly until all the slices are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Arrange in Baking Dish: Lightly butter a baking dish to prevent sticking. Arrange the coated sweet potato slices in a spiral pattern to ensure even roasting. Sprinkle fresh thyme over the top along with additional Parmesan if desired for extra flavor.
- Roast the Sweet Potatoes: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and roast for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown around the edges.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve your garlic Parmesan roasted sweet potatoes warm. Garnish with extra fresh thyme sprigs to enhance the aroma and presentation. Enjoy immediately.
Notes
- For more crispiness, broil the sweet potatoes for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of roasting, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor and melting quality.
- You can substitute fresh rosemary for thyme if preferred to change the herb profile.
- This dish pairs wonderfully with grilled meats, roasted chicken, or as a vegetarian main when served with a side salad.
